During November 2011, I was in residence as a Frontier Fellow at the Epicenter in Green River, Utah. For part of the time, I worked on design projects for the Epicenter. For the other part of the time, I engaged in a creative process driven by an inquiry into place and the resulting documentation of that inquiry. I was most interested in what it was like to live in Green River, a town of 953 residents in the middle of the desert. Experiential research took precedence over object-making, a reality that has informed my opinion on the limitations and possibilities of art making. Or just of living.
